'.lO ALL WHOM I'I MAY CIQNGERN:

Be it known that I, EZ'RA HUTSON, ot' Brockport,`in the State of New York,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the-accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which- I Figure 1 is aside elevation. o Figure 2 a longitudinal transverse section ofthe arm and sleeve, with the metal plates which hold the reel -or swi`tarms removed, and

Figure-3 a plan view, showing the relative position ofA the ree l-alru i. .\.4

The nature-of my invention consists in the employment and combination of the several devices hereinafter described, fory the purpose already stated.v v

A represents ametal stock, provided with projection 'o and thumbscrew a, in order that it may be secured to a table or bench. el is a cog-wheel, .pivoted to stock A, -fully shown in g.'1,.theobject` of which will be showny hereafter. Upon this cog-wheel is the pin e, which operates spring f, i`or the purpose of indicating the exact number of revolutions of the reel, or the precise' number of threads in the hankvfjB represents an arm, a ring being formed at one end, as seen iii-tig. A2. This ring slips over a round projection on stock A, and is retained in its place by the metall washer g and thumb-screw lz. C represents asleeve, fitting loosely over the arm B. Said sleeve is provided with a perpetual screw, by means of which the cog-wheel ol is operated. -c lc are two metal plates, each being provided with two grooves forthe reception of the reel-arms D D. y It should be observed that the plate 7c is screwed tightly upon the sleeve C, while 7c fits loosely upoit,`thns admitting of the armsD D being placed at right angles, parallel, or in any relativevposition desired. When suitably adjusted, the thumb-screw m holds them securely. z' is a screw, which enters .the end of arm B for the purpose of preventing the sleeve C from slipping oi?. The arms D D are furnished at their ends with wire-holders E E. pp are projections, for the purpose'of acting as checks to arm B.l Y 1 The operation of my machine is as follows: The arms D D being properly adjusted, both.as regards'their relativepositions and the size of the bank, motion is given to them. If it be desirable to know the number'of threads wound-off, allow the vsleeve C to rest upon the cog-wheel d. Motion being thus conveyed izosaid wheel, by means of the perpetual screw, the pin c will cause the springfto make -a. noise upon every revolution of the wheel, thus indicating precisely the number of threads in a haul'. It will be observed that the*l arm-Bean be secured at any angle desired. i

Having thus fully described my invention., what I claim, .and desire to secure by Letters Patent, `iis- Y 1. The sleeve C, in combination with the pivoted arm B', substantially as and for the purpose specified lhe combination of plates k k', arms D D, sleeve C, and arm B, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. Spring f, wheel d, sleeve c, and arm B, all combined substantially in the manner and for the purpose described. i

Intestimony that I claim the above, I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EZRA HTSON.
